Abstract:

From 1975 to 2010, Medicaid costs grew 1.8 percent faster than GDP. At this pace, over the next 75

years, federal Medicaid expenditures will rise to almost 6 percent of GDP. In 2005, a reform was

approved for Florida which was designed to increase beneficiaries’ access and quality of care at no

greater cost than traditional Medicaid. The federal waiver allowed the state to move about 413,000

Medicaid beneficiaries in five demonstration counties into health plans run by private providers and

insurers. This article details the reform area’s progress.
